W is for WOMEN
Don’t forget the ladies! You may think that researching female ancestors is elusive, but there are many places to search. Some of the more common records may not have preserved her information, but she still has a story to tell. Many times, it takes studying the social history of a location in order to understand her circumstances. Knowing which organizations were operating in her community, and finding her on the membership list, may open a treasure trove of information, and provide a glimpse into her daily life.
